ANOTHER CLERICAL COVID 19 PROBLEM

Bishop Pat,

I’m alerting you to serious breaches in health and​ safety guidance in Kilbeggan Parish.

Our Parish Priest is conducting eucharistic ceremonies on a daily basis.

Screengrabs attached will testify. Copy of this weeks parish newsletter and a screenshot from yesterday’s holy communion ceremony.​

Is the new Bishop of Meath aware that one his priests is breaching the government advice to keep churches closed and church activities suspended.

It is a serious breach of trust.​

Yours.​

PAT SAYS

Another Covid 19 clerical fool.

Does he not realise that he could pass on the virus on the communion host.

And he is obviously not observing government regulations.

Is it cynical to think that there is a collection box open in the church everyday from 2 to 4 pm?

Some of these guys need to be reported to the authorities and fined

Agreed, Pat. These rogues should be reported to the Garda (police) and fined. But don’t the Garda already know of this? Are they deliberately giving these men a pass because they are priests? If they are, it smacks of the historical, and highly dysfunctional, relationship between the institutional Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, and the State.

There is no reasonable way in which these breaches of Irish Government guidance could be construed as ‘exercise’.

10.22: That’s a complete over reaction. If a church is open and all relevant restriction guidelines are followed as in shops and supermarkets and at chemists and banks, with proper responsible supervision, what’s your worry? This is just another opportunity by you, vicious troll, to attack, attack….We opened our church for 2 hours last Sunday when about 300 called in, 5 At a time for 4 minutes each…even 3 local Gardai called in and expressed gratitude for the moment of quiet prayer for loved ones who died, including a former colleague and the father of another. They were also impressed with our responsible way of organising the opportunity. All relevant guidelines were followed. So Magna, we will repeat same responsibility again this Sunday. Our parishioners are adult, caring, responsible people…..not goons like you. The only virus you should eradicate is yourself.

No, it is not an overreaction: it is fully in compliance with government guidance. How can it be an overreaction?

Pharmacies, shops, etc are ESSENTIAL in these times; church visits most definitely are not. God is not confined to a church building, or a tabernacle.You know this as well as I.

Stop being irresponsible. Your church has a reputation for this kind of cavalier attitude that endangers people, especially children. And your absurd reply confirms that this attitude remains part of the mindset of the institutional Church.

You are putting people’s lives at risk, you irresponsible fool! This isn’t about ‘trolling’; get a grip, man! It’s about caring enough to save lives.

CURRENT IRISH GUIDELINES

People over the age of the 70 or extremely medically vulnerable

The government is urging people over the age of 70 or who have underlying medical conditions to cocoon.

Cocooning means protecting people:

over 70 years of agewho are extremely medically vulnerableliving in residential care homes or long-term care

The symptoms of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) can be harder to notice for people who have underlying health issues.

If you’re in one of these groups, you must take extra care to reduce interaction with other people. You can go up to 5 kilometres from your home for exercise as long as you avoid all contact with other people.

Nearly all the people who have died are elderly or have underlying health issues. People should be able to make their own decisions as to where to go based on their personal circumstances. What we have is an unelected government trying to create a police state. My mother is 82 and is still going about her daily business as normal. Her attitude is that she hasn’t a lot of time left and wants to spend it as she sees fit, if she dies, she dies. Two of her friends got it and were dead in 2 weeks, another got it and recovered.

To put things in perspective the world population is 5.5.billion, only 200,00 have died from the virus, 64 million people died in WW2. People don’t have to visit the church in Kilbeggan, they are choosing to. It looks as if social distancing is being observed. Stop cowering in fear lads and enjoy the beautiful spring weather, get out and about, play some golf, do a bit of gardening, walk your dog.

Don’t be childish: no one is cowering in fear. Acting responsibly isn’t acting fearfully. You’re an adult, presumably, and should therefore be able to tell the difference.

Are people really ‘choosing’ to make non-essential visits to churches? Or have they just been catechised, badly, to believe that Jesus is ‘real’ in a Catholic church tabernacle, but not really ‘real’ elsewhere. 😕

Whatever the truth may be, these people are putting not only themselves at greater (and unnecessary) risk of contracting Covid-19, but also of infecting a broader network of people, who in turn will infect others. And so laboriously on. Yes, I know you find all of this terribly tedious, the kind of thing that someone as obviously urbane and intelligent as you can dismiss with a tired flick of a bourgeous (Romanist?) wrist. But here’s the thing: life does not revolve around you alone. Really. There are other people to consider, people at much greater risk than most.

Have you seen anyone gasping for breath through Covid-19? Did you see the terror in their eyes when their struggle to draw oxygen into their lungs was futile, and when they finally, desperately, realised it? Now THERE’S fear. It’s like drowning, and as someone who once nearly drowned, it is not a death you would wish on any other.

So for the remainder of this day, reflect on the utter, nonchalant but irresponsible tripe you posted. And reflect, too, on the fact that your apparent bravado would soon disappear the moment YOU knew that the final struggle for breath through Covid-19 would be moments of sheer, unadulterated terror. 😕

That is not the point.

What happened was a breach of government guidance and put at greater risk of Covid-19 those at higher risk of contracting more severe symptoms.

This priest arrogantly set a terrible example: his misconduct could inspire others to behave similarly. And all for an activity that was non-essential, not only in terms of behaviour permitted under government guidance, but also in theological terms. If those parishoners were truly open to God, then his presence was already with them; there was no need for them to visit this church.

The Roman Catholic insistence on the ‘Real Presence’ of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament downplays the presence of God elsewhere and has Catholics believing that if they do not receive Christ sacramentally, then they either do not receive him at all, or only in a less meaningful way. This is heretical, as well as a high point of clericalism that has priests controlling the presence of God.

This stupid, arrogant Romanist priest has unnecessarily put lives at risk. I hope that he will be prosecuted as an example others.

According to the following article a couple of days ago, Bp Pat, churches were ordered closed in the United Kingdom under the lockdown order. However, the Northern Ireland Executive has “leeway” in this area.

There must be some flexibility in the rules allowing the Bishop of Meath and the parish of Kilbeggan to keep the church open ostensibly for the sacrament but primarily to generate income seven days a week.

The primate, Dr Turtle, may have to overrule the See of Meath.

The provision of food, from whatever source, is of course essential. The sale of alcohol is helpful psychlogically.

But sacramental confession is not essential: a person can confess to God in his livingroom and be forgiven. God sees al,l and forgives all that is repented of, immediately and directly; he does not require assistance from a priest.

And prayer can be made from the same livingroom; no need, then, of visits to churches.

The institutional Church’s canonical insistence on sacramental confession unjustifiably, even blasphemously, has people dependent on clergy for reconciliation to God, not on Christ. And likewise its teaching on the ‘real presence’ of Jesus in the ‘Blessed Sacrament’.

The suggestion here, made more than once, that Garda (Irish police officers) are not only aware of non-essential church visits but are actually participating in them is disturbing. It allows the inference that the historical deferential relationship between the Garda, and the institutional Romanist Church in Ireland, remains firmly in place.

If these officers are empowered by Irish Law to order such venues closed and yet refused to do so, then their negligence is at least a matter for disciplinary action, and quite possibly for legal proceedings.

12.58: What world are you living in? If a Garda, priest, doctor or any individual makes and solemnises vows, civilly or sacramentally, those vows are binding and carry a responsibility to be faithful to that person for life. A huge commitment and not to be discarded when things get tough or when temptations arise, as they will. We are all capable of living a lie and duplicitous lives, priest or otherwise. The Garda is as culpable as the priest, his/her responsibility perhaps even greater if he/she has children. So, the moral responsibility is equal for both.

Rofl 3:59 I hate to break it to you but merely having an affair is not a disciplinary matter in today’s workplace.
It is not illegal, it is not likely to affect the guard’s work because it isn’t with a colleague.
The only time it would influence would be if he came across the priest in a professional capacity.
They will not be interested – as you rightly say it is a moral matter and in today’s workplace will be seen as being between the man and his wife.
The days when you could be sacked for having an affair or being gay are decades ago, and I really think you need to get out more.

Like

5.33: I agree with you. My point at 3.59 was in response to a 12.58 who seemed to think that the priest was primarily the person with a greater guilt and blame/wrong. Both people in the situation are equally responsible for the affair. Being gay or having extra marital affairs, thankfully, are not reasons for terminating employment. The notion that Bishop Buckley should now begin an investigation is outrageous and morally reprehensible. This bishop doesn’t know when to cease crossing boundaries. His behaviour is despicable. He doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Like

Thank you, 19:00.
Yes neither is the more culpable. I would however say that while the guard is in a sense a public figure, because his employment is ‘secular’ the expectation on him is different. The priest is also a public figure but in a ‘vocation’ where celibacy is expected and where it is reasonable to expect clergy to teach and promote the church’s teaching. A recurrent feature on this blog is priests who don’t do this.
The priest can therefore I think reasonably expect comeback from his ’employers’ – whether he will get it is another matter.

As you’ve learned from today’s blog, Romanist priests in ‘Eire’ (Republic of Ireland) are flouting government guidance here because some of them (perhaps many) have already opened churches for … I was about to say ‘for people’, but I don’t believe anyone sensible accepts that apparent selfless motivation on the part of these social leeches.

No; what is actually driving these scroungers is the hope (and I’d bet that every one of them has ‘prayed’ more plaintively than ever for this 😅) that their parishoners will take the opportunity to make a generous donation for ‘Faaather’ ‘s customary indolence, and utter uselessness, not to mention his increasingly obvious ‘increasing irrelevance’. 😄

Judging by the number of ad hominem posts today (from Romanists, and their Cathbot apologists), this blog is clearly on target with the truth about the unnecessary danger that Romanist priests are putting their parishoners in. I have no doubt that pecuniary advantage is at least an ulterior motive in this, since Romanists have been whining for some time now about the fall off in donations to their coffers.

So, I was out for my permitted exercise today. And my activity takes me past a nice little cruising ground – I include it for extra diversion in my exercise. I am a gay man, but not a priest, not under any promises, and well liberated from the usual religious nuttiness and hangups about sex. So, a bit of al fresco activity is quite within my orbit, and I enjoy it. Not in these social distancing times, however, but I still pass by this little place for old times’ sake. There is not often much going on there in these days. However, today was a sunny, nice day, and some of the boys were out. I saw this one middle aged guy, well coiffed, smooth skinned, well dressed, black trousers and shoes and a cream shirt. He had a Slavic look about him – you know, flat back of the head stuff. Polish probably. He was quite come on-ish, not shy, and making it quite obvious to all and sundry that he was there for activity. I noticed the shirt – short sleeve, breast pocket, and, well a collar that is one of those ones where you just slip in the little bit of clerical plastic. No doubt he was a priest, taking time off from virtual Mass, confessions in the car park or through the church gates, and processing around the streets with the monstrance poking from a car’s sunroof. So, I reckon Polish priest out for a bit of afternoon fun. Now, I have no problem with this by and large. Although I would have expected him to dress down a little for the activity. I suppose what I do have a problem with is, being Polish, and from my experience of that ilk of priest, he will when in role be hardline, rigorous, black and white, and certain about things and about people and what they should do and shouldn’t do. And not shy about telling people, and giving them a hard line. And probably full of that Divine Mercy nonsense and Medjugorje malarkey. But, this afternoon, he was out looking for some cock to gobble. Bless ! Isn’t life strange ?
